Tomorrow 56 newspapers in 45 countries take the unprecedented step of speaking with one voice through a common editorial. We do so because humanity faces a profound emergency....

The graphic at right, reprinted from The Guardian in Britain, show the newspapers which will be participating. Here's what's really motivating the alarmism, from the editorial:

Social justice demands that the industrialised world digs deep into its pockets and pledges cash to help poorer countries adapt to climate change, and clean technologies to enable them to grow economically without growing their emissions.... And fairness requires that the burden placed on individual developed countries should take into account their ability to bear it; for instance newer EU members, often much poorer than "old Europe", must not suffer more than their richer partners.

Social justice and fairness? I thought this was supposed to be about science.

Thankfully, we still have the internet, and bloggers who still care about uncovering the truth as to climate change. We certainly can't rely on the mainstream newspapers anymore, if we ever could.

It's never been about science. Now that the science has been debunked, this issue will morph into whatever issue is on the table as these hooligans make a last desperate attempt to seize global power over the rest of us. There has been too much capital invested over the past 30 or so years to quit now.

I'm surprised they finally admit this has nothing to do with science. They plainly admit it's all about moving money. How much money do you think the people who run these newspapers have tied up in carbon credit trading now?

Yes if this corrupt gathering of thugs and fraudsters do pass anything against western capitalism and in favor of cap and trade it will seal history's judgment of evil on all who attended and did not vote against such a monstrousity. Not sure that is how these sheeple anti science rags meant their editorial piece to be read, but in light of climategate, that is the only fair intendment of this outrageous bogus fear mongering baseless opinion.

If Brazil, China and India had made intelligent economic decisions over the last 60 years they would be much wealthier and would not need any assistance. Is it the US's responsibility that Mao thought the steel industry was a cottage industry, and that the Cultural Revolution was needed to purify the country? Or that Nehru was enamored of socialism?

Frankly, I'm weary of paying for all of the parties for world leaders at various venues throughout the year. Kindly remember leaders, before you up our taxes that there is such a thing as a teleconference. The Copenhagen venue would have had an impact if relegated to a video con. As it is, limos and etc. will create quite an air pollution problem for the event. To recap: Leaders may attend summits only if held on mountain tops. Otherwise: Skype!

Just today, I read an editorial from the Los Angeles Times warning that if we do not take action, the United States will become a threat to humanity.

I wonder why not a single newspaper editorial pointed out that the United States can stop global warming simply by detonating its arsenal of thermonuclear weapons. Carl Sagan and four other scientists proved this to be true back in 1983.

they see themselves as the people at the top of the pyramid telling us at the bottom that the eclipse of the sun we are seeing means that we are bad and they will ask the gods for mercy for us by taking our money. shall we let them?

We are experiencing the surge of world leaders of similar minds backed by industrialists and currency traders doing their level best to create a world where only a few will rule the masses. Obama and crew have worked hard trying to cut off avenues of escape for those seeking freedom or a tax haven. The sad truth is there are no empty continents to flee to anymore. The feeling of being trapped is growing among the people of free will.

Their mistake is that even good-hearted people with no malice in their hearts will not stand to be cornered, not for long. Unlike Europe, which has managed to disarm and cower their populace with a heavy handed police state, America is a different beast altogether. We are living in unstable times and as much as I wish peace to all, I'm not so sure that will be the outcome. All nations face extinction, some for the outside threats, but most from the corruption within. How we as a people handle our corruption will set the stage for the next hundred years. Live free or submit to a soft or not so soft enslavement. I do know this as I put in my post:

"This is a shameful time in our history. If Jefferson were alive, he’d be pulling the plug on the experiment and pushing the reset button with the barrel of his musket."

I wrote about this time in a novel being published as we speak. I wrote it in 1997 as an exercise in what it would take for our nation to fall to a corrupt government bent on taking over everyone's life. People who read it back then laughed, saying no way it could happen here.
